The Memorial of Jan Palach
Jan Palach was a Czech student who was part of a movement to protest the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968. He signed a suicide pact with other students to protest the invasion by the Soviets. Although he was one of the few who actually went through with the pact, his death set off a flurry of anti-Soviet activity over the next two decades. Finally in 1989 during 'Jan Palach Week', the demonstrations escalated and were one of the catalysts for the fall of the communism soon after. This memorial lies in Wencelas Square in current day Prague, Czech Republic. It never ceases to amaze me the things I have come across in my travels. I hope you enjoy this picture and it's significant part in history...
Train car in Lincoln
I recently braved a very cold day in Lincoln, Nebraska to attempt to get some shots around this great midwestern town. However since the wind was blowing around 30mph and it was about 10 degrees out, my photo mission was short lived. I couldn't quite get myself to stay out in well below zero windchills that day! I will be back for more shots in Lincoln though, as the revived town has a lot of potential for interesting subjects especially the balance between old & new and college & traditional flavor.
Here is one I managed to snag of a train car, something about the yellow and lines latch really drew me in...
It's my monkey!
A day in the life of a cat revolves around a few simple pleasures. Eat, sleep, play & repeat. For the moment, play was on the table and the monkey was the most important thing on Earth. He loves his monkey!

My nephew!
My nephew is quite a busy little guy, so it can be hard to actually capture him on 'film'! This was a shot from back in the fall that I really dig.

Backcountry beauty!
So I recently turned the big 3-0 and went on a backcountry hut trip with friends to celebrate. Turned out to be a bit of adventure with taking the wrong trail, breaking new trail and finishing up in the dark! Here are few of my favorites from the trip...
My friend Jon enjoying the day!
The sign that should have clued us in that we were going the wrong way!
Nothing like a warm fire after a long day on the cold trail.
Peaceful outside, fun party inside!
Whiskey by candlelight.
The next morning, what a sight!
Nothing quite as peaceful as being in the middle of the wilderness at over 10,000' feet!
Breakfast is served!
Tubing is fun!
Getting some air!
Snowshoe fun on the way down!
Goodbye Aspen!
Thanks for looking!
